Inflation Risk Premia and Survey Evidence on Macroeconomic Uncertainty

Paul Söderlind

No 2009-04, Working Papers from Swiss National Bank

Abstract: Nominal and real U.S. interest rates (1997Q1-2008Q2) are combined with inflation expectations from the Survey of Professional Forecasters to calculate time series of risk premia. It is shown that survey data on inflation and output growth uncertainty, as well as a proxy for liquidity premia can explain a large amount of the variation in these risk premia.
